Re: dbuild results - partial



OK, here's a question: How can I help?

I've got dbuild but haven't really figure out how to make it run.  I've got
a 600MHz Alpha and it would be great to put spare cycles to use compiling
stuff.  At the moment, I've been compiling things manually as I discover I
need them, but would rather do things in an automated fashion.
